2010's, Brenda Strong, Brian Austin Green, Desperate Housewives, Desperate Housewives Season 7, Doug Savant, Emily Bergl, Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, James Denton, Jonathan Cake, Marcia Cross, Mark Moses, Ricardo Antonio Chavira, Teri Hatcher, Vanessa Williams

It may show a few signs of being a bit tired(I mean a show that has been running seven years can’t always be of the highest standard), but Season 7 of Desperate Housewives still delivers that winning mix of comedy, drama and unusual mystery to keep you entertained. While not as riveting as Season 6, Season 7 is entertaining nonetheless due to the fabulous cast and killer writing. Spoilers will be following.

As observed from her resting place, Mary Alice(Brenda Strong) continues to chart the dramas and secrets in the daily lives of the women who populate Wisteria Lane. Desperate Housewives Season 7 PosterIt is a time of change for all of the ladies this time. Susan(Teri Hatcher), along with Mike(James Denton) and her son have temporarily moved out of the Lane while they contend with mounting financial woes. Susan finds from her landlady an unusual way to make ends meets, by becoming a sexy web cam star. She feels guilty about lying to Mike, but she has to make money as she does want to move back to Wisteria Lane. Yet just as she’s getting back on her feet, she is seriously injured in a protest against a plan of a returning resident. Susan them must go through the agonizing wait for a new kidney that will save her life. Lynette(Felicity Huffman) now has a fifth child and the pressure of it is becoming a little too much. Add to that the fact that Tom(Doug Savant) is diagnosed with postpartum depression and it’s an intense and difficult situation for her marriage as it reaches something of a crossroads with Tom’s career taking off and Lynette no longer being the boss. Renee PerryLynette’s friend from college, the sassy, rich diva Renee Perry(Vanessa Williams) moves into the neighbourhood and ruffles feathers with her flashy and narcissistic attitude. Eventually, the other ladies warm to her. Gabrielle(Eva Longoria) and Carlos(Ricardo Antonio Chavira) must deal with the news that Juanita is not their biological daughter as the children were switched at birth and the inevitable fall out that accompanies this bombshell. While they track down the couple who have been raising their biological daughter, it leaves them with a difficult decision to make after it is revealed that the family are illegal immigrants and must flee the country. Perfect homemaker Bree(Marcia Cross) also confides in Gabrielle about the fact that years ago Andrew was the one driving the car that killed her mother-in-law. To save their friendship they stay quiet, until Carlos finds out and their friendship becomes fractured. Adding to Gabrielle’s troubles is the presence of a sinister stranger from her past that shakes her to the core. Also with Bree, with Orson divorcing her, she finds thrills in the arms of a hunky and much younger decorator named Keith(Brian Austin Green), before finding more romance with suave detective Chuck Vance(Jonathan Cake) later in the season. And the menacing return of Paul Young(Mark Moses), freshly released from prison with an unusually fragile and strange wife Beth(Emily Bergl), who also has her own agenda for being there. Paul YoungIt is Paul who is the subject of mystery this year and his overly polite gestures to those around mask a deeper and darker purpose as revenge is dished out insidiously by him. Prepare for another venture down the uneasy and secretive Lane, that may have some hiccups but is still complete with comedy, pathos and mystery a plenty.

As I mentioned earlier, some of the formula of the show is wearing a bit thin now. There are times when the quality goes from very good to sometimes poor, but regardless of this it’s still great viewing. I just have the feeling that some of the story lines feel a but repetitive, mainly Bree’s one of having a younger man in her life that seems very similar to Gabrielle’s dalliance with the gardener in Season 1. Bree and KeithThough it must be said, the scenes between Bree and Keith are steamy and sexy to watch as the virile young lover invigorates Bree, and then she has more romance to follow. This sort of hiccup may be a bit distracting, but Season 7 is by no means bad television. In fact it’s far from it with the blend of wit and suspense, there is just something missing from it. I have to praise the emotional parts of this season which are handled amazingly and have some real depth to them. At least, despite the sometimes up and down quality, it is redeemed by a great and very tense finale in which a monster from Gabrielle’s past returns and it ends with a death.

Onto the more positive side, and the mystery and drama are still some of the best in terms of writing and execution. The drama is best shown in the episode when Paul puts his plan to turn his neighbours against one another into motion. Buying his old house, he makes it a place for ex-cons to live, which causes the neighbourhood to panic. And what starts as a protest soon leads to a terrifying riot, which is rife with tension and shock. Desperate Housewives RiotAnd all the while Paul stands back and watches the chaos unfold much to his wolfish delight. The way that the civility of the Lane is destroyed by this is both devastating and emotional, exemplifying the show’s excellence when it comes to drama. Gabrielle’s emotional story line of her daughter being switched at birth and how she deals with it is movingly portrayed, as she must deal with letting her daughter go, but still having Juanita, the girl she raised as her own to contend with after the young girl finds out about what happened. In fact there is more drama than usual this season with Gabrielle and Susan standing out, but at least there is some of the carry comedy to fall back on. Most of it is provided by the new arrival of Renee. She is given so many juicy and bitchy lines that she breathes life into and owns it. When the season lags, you can rely on Renee for comic lines and dive behaviour to keep you entertained.

Despite some of the hiccups within the season, the lovely cast contribute some stunning work once more, especially when it comes to the drama. Eva Longoria really impressed me this season as she made us see Gabrielle at her most vulnerable. Behind that veneer of glamour and bravado, there is a wounded and very frightened girl there and Longoria plays it beautifully with her emotional resonance and strength. Gabrielle Season 7This is the main season in which we see the reasons why Gabrielle behaves how she does, with references to her past and the way she has to say goodbye to her biological daughter just as she is becoming closer to her. Teri Hatcher contributes touches of humour to the usually jovial Susan, who now must contend with waiting for a kidney and money troubles.Susan Season 7 And while she still has some really funny lines, I liked how Hatcher fleshed out Susan’s fears and sadness at the state of affairs that has come her way almost all at once. Felicity Huffman’s blend of sharp humour and pathos is perfect for her role as Lynette, whose mounting problems seem to increase daily and difficult decision have to be made. Huffman’s knack for supplying her character with a deep core and a sense of blinded judgement is on full effortless display here as Lynette comes to see that her need to be in charge is shoving Tom away and that their relationship is clearly on the rocks. Marcia Cross injects more warmth into Bree this season and it is nice to see her not be as icy and proper as she has been in the past. There is still that controlling streak, but Cross makes Bree a lot more loving and sensitive this time.

Joining the cast is the lovely and very gorgeous Vanessa Williams as the outrageous and supremely glamorous Renee. A comedic highlight of this season, she portrays this fabulous woman of finery with barbed one liners and scandalous behaviour that is really fun to view and often lulls some of the imperfections during this season. Returning once more, Mark Moses provides the menace as Paul Young, who wants to take his revenge out on those around him. As creepy as he is though, we see flickers of regret and the need for redemption that help to make him not so much evil but hurt and taking his rage out through nefarious ways. Beth YoungEmily Bergl makes her mark as the strange and used Beth, whose marriage to Paul hides the fact that she’s a pawn for something bigger and darker. With a quiet voice, a fawning expression and sense of sadness because she is so manipulated, Bergl makes sure Beth is a character who we remember. James Denton, Doug Savant and Ricardo Antonio Chavira bring their experience as the husbands of the wives, and all are very effective in the roles they have fully grown into over the years. Brian Austin Green provides almost constantly shirtless eye candy as the decorator Keith who romances Bree, and then we have Jonathan Cake as the detective Chuck who warms to Bree as the season draws to a close. And the ever-reliable voice of Brenda Strong continues to be a delight, detailing the many incidents that occur on the street as the deceased Mary Alice.

Desperate Housewives Season 2

2000's, Alfre Woodard, Andrea Bowen, Brenda Strong, Cody Kasch, Desperate Housewives, Desperate Housewives Season 2, Doug Savant, Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, James Denton, Marcia Cross, Mark Moses, Nicollette Sheridan, Ricardo Antonio Chavira, Richard Burgi, Roger Bart, Teri Hatcher

It was going to be a hard task to match the utter greatness of Season 1 of Desperate Housewives, so it doesn’t come as much of a surprise that Season 2 is something of a lesser season in comparison. That isn’t to say that it is a bad season, far from it in fact as it’s always entertaining to watch the lives of the ladies unravel with drama. But it just doesn’t have the killer punch and mystery of the first offering. Spoilers will follow in this review.

After the Mary Alice(Brenda Strong) mystery was wrapped up, the ladies of Wisteria Lane are attempting to get back to normal again, though this is proving harder than anticipated. Uptight Bree(Marcia Cross) is dealing with the death of her husband Rex, whose heart attack was brought on by Bree’s admirer and pharmacist George(Roger Bart) tampering with his medication. Desperate Housewives Season 2 PosterThis fact is not known by Bree, who is still trying to keep up appearances but is inside devastated. George begins to infiltrate her life again posing as a shoulder to cry on, but secretly obsessed with her. Bree is also coming to terms with her troublesome son Andrew coming out as gay and his constant attempts to make her life hell. The manipulative George uses Andrew’s often antagonistic behaviour to his advantage as he gets dangerously close to the unsuspecting Bree. Lynette(Felicity Huffman) goes back to work again, while her husband Tom(Doug Savant) becomes a stay at home dad. Lynette Season 2Although she feels exhilarated being back in a job, she can’t help but feel that the balance between her work life and home life is challenging. She begins to slightly neglect her duties as a mother as she excels in business, but is still very conflicted on what she should do. Susan(Teri Hatcher) is trying to recover after being held hostage by the unstable Zach(Cody Kasch) in the finale after which the teenager runs away, while also dealing with the fact that Mike(James Denton) is actually Zach’s biological father. There is also the matter of her ex husband Karl(Richard Burgi) moving in with the street vamp Edie Britt(Nicollette Sheridan), but still has feelings for her. Rounding out the main drama is the glamorous Gabrielle(Eva Longoria) is pregnant and trying to make it work with Carlos(Ricardo Antonio Chavira) who is incarcerated for eight months. The ups and downs of their union are also tested when Gabrielle suffers a miscarriage just as she is warming to the idea of motherhood. Paul Young(Mark Moses) returns after his near-death encounter with Mike, but is arrested for murder shortly after due to the vendetta of a vengeful neighbour.Then we have the overriding mystery of this season in the form of Betty Applewhite(Alfre Woodard). The religious woman, who has moved onto Wisteria Lane with her son Matthew, keeps herself to herself and is deep down guarding a dark secret. Betty ApplewhiteShe has her other son Caleb locked up in the basement, as he is meant to have murdered someone but as is always the case with the mysteries of Wisteria Lane, nothing is as it seems and darkness lurks beneath the lovely surface.

Like I previously mentioned, this isn’t a bad season but it just pales in comparison with the debut one. It is the mystery this time that doesn’t become that enthralling or enigmatic enough. Some of the parts of Betty’s story are very mysterious, but they just don’t have the pull that the Mary Alice discoveries had. If the mystery of Betty and her son’s had been given more thought, it might have made this a season on par with the first. There are also times when the neat balance that Desperate Housewives has of comedy and drama becomes a little thin and one is given precedence over the other. There is a lack of consistency in the beginning of the season with the quality changing, but once it gets into the groove, Desperate Housewives Season 2 churns out some great episodes. Now, despite these negative aspects, there’s still a lot to enjoy in this sophomore season. When the humour, sly and dark undercutting of suburbia are allowed to reach their heights without leaving the other out, it is very successful and delightfully observed with help from witty screenplays and genuine emotional drama involving the core ladies. The continuing narration from Mary Alice is always a plus, as she watches over her friends and the daily struggles they go through with a warmth and knowing. Desperate Housewives Season 2 CastI liked how Bree was made the centre of many stories as I’ve found her character interesting and full of so many layers. The theme of conflict is very apparent throughout the season, whether it be physical, emotional or mental and its a very nifty plot point that leads to some truly great episodes. Once again, a tonally diverse score helps add even more playful antics to the already more than eventful proceedings.

Despite some of the flaws of the season, the reliable cast are at least on hand to deliver great work. Marcia Cross excels as Bree, the centerpiece of this season. The amount of emotion she projects while also subtlety exuding the demeanor of a perfect house keeper is astonishing. Bree Season 2She goes through so much this season: Andrew constantly trying to make her feel inferior, Rex’s death and most importantly her relationship with the manipulative George. The relationship with George and watching her realise his possessive nature and how he killed Rex is genuinely chilling and heart wrenching to watch. As well as the scene when he overdoses and tries to blackmail Bree into saving him, but she calmly lets him die for all the pain he has caused her and her unshakable facade crumbles. I think it’s safe to say that this season belongs to Marcia Cross. Felicity Huffman is excellent at portraying Lynette’s conflicting interests of being in business and raising her kids and her need for a compromise. Huffman gives such comic timing and emotional depth to Lynette that I can’t imagine anyone playing the character because of it. Teri Hatcher is still an absolute joy to view as hapless Susan, now caught between Mike and the last person she thought she’d have feelings for, her ex husband Karl. Hatcher sells the comic and romantic mishaps of Susan with charm and verve, while also letting us relate to her because of the emotions she displays. I liked how Eva Longoria brought out the softer side of Gabrielle this season as she deals with losing her child and her shaky marriage to Carlos. Gabrielle Season 2Sure she is still feisty, opinionated and selfish, but she also has a heart there as she begins to want a child again after being dead set against it and the luminous Longoria excellently portrays that. Nicollette Sheridan continues to sizzle as the outrageously trashy Edie, who manages to at least get into the central circle of friends for once after always being the outsider bitch.

Her mystery story line may not be up to much, but Alfre Woodard turns in stellar work as the secretive Betty. Projecting a welcoming image to everyone, we glimpse how underneath she is driven, extremely protective and fast-thinking in situations. She may make some questionable decisions, but Woodard sells Betty’s complex personality very well. James Denton brings his presence to the part of Mike, who is attempting to adjust to life knowing who his son is and his own past. Richard Burgi is very amusing as Susan’s ex Karl, who has feelings for her even though they’re separated. Ricardo Antonio Chavira provides very funny work as Carlos, who has found God while in prison and is attempting to mend his angered ways. This is very much to the chagrin of Gabrielle who prefers her husband the way he was. Special mention must go to Roger Bart this season, who imbues the obsessed George Williams with a disquieting and controlling demeanor as he worms his way into Bree’s life. George's Death Desperate HousewivesHis death and attempts to blackmail Bree are riveting scenes, even though he has underestimated Bree’s vengeance for killing her husband and he watches as she silently observes him pass away knowing all the pain he has brought her. It would have been good if he’d stuck around a little longer, but when he is on the show he is amazing. I thought it was good that they expanded on Tom’s role and gave Doug Savant more to do. The character goes back to work with Lynette, but finds his masculinity challenged as he can’t accept that his wife is also his boss. Andrea Bowen is likable and extremely mature as Susan’s daughter, who senses that her parents still have a spark of love between them. Like with the last season, Mark Moses in on great form as the chilling Paul Young, while Cody Kasch fleshes out Zach to reveal why he has become so disturbed and how devious he can really be. And not forgetting the sagacious voice of Brenda Strong as the deceased Mary Alice, continuing to watch from beyond the grave.

Desperate Housewives Season 1

2000's, Andrea Bowen, Brenda Strong, Cody Kasch, Desperate Housewives, Desperate Housewives Season 1, Doug Savant, Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, James Denton, Jesse Metcalfe, Marcia Cross, Mark Moses, Nicollette Sheridan, Ricardo Antonio Chavira, Steven Culp, Teri Hatcher

And now I’m going to begin another Television review, this time of the popular Desperate Housewives. I remember hearing a lot about the show when it aired but only ever catching a few episodes. I decided to rectify this as I’d always been very curious to see if I enjoyed the show. A dark cross between comedy, drama and devious mystery that focuses on the troubled lives of the women of Wisteria Lane, Desperate Housewives just keeps you wanting more. It’s safe to say I’m now hooked on the show. So here is my take on Season 1. Be warned, spoilers will be following in my review.

The freshly mowed lawns and picture postcard image of suburban Wisteria Lane is changed when a seemingly happy housewife by the name of Mary Alice Young( Brenda Strong) shoots herself. To the outside world she appeared to have it all, but there was something lurking behind that. The show opens with Mary Alice’s suicide and focuses on the reactions of her group of female friends as they attempt to decipher why she killed herself, while also dealing with their own individual dramas. Desperate Housewives Season 1 PosterThere is Susan Mayer(Teri Hatcher), a clumsy and self-doubting woman prone to embarrassing herself who is looking for love after her divorce. Her mature teenage daughter Julie(Andrea Bowen), who often acts as a confidante to her mother and a supportive presence, helps her out in various situations. Susan sees an opportunity in the form of nice guy Mike Delfino(James Denton), who is the newest neighbour and is guarding his own personal secrets. Lynette Scavo(Felicity Huffman) is a former career women who is now looking after her troublesome kids and struggling to hold it together while her husband Tom(Doug Savant) is away regularly expanding his career. Bree Van de Kamp(Marcia Cross), the prim and perfect wife whose marriage to the dissatisfied Rex(Steven Culp) is falling apart underneath the image of domesticity she presents to the world. Despite this, after a brief break up with Rex, the two get back together only for a vindictive tragedy by an obsessive admirer to scupper the reconciliation. Former fashion model and lover of finery Gabrielle Solis(Eva Longoria), is unhappy in her marriage to the high-powered but neglectful Carlos(Ricardo Antonio Chavira). She finds comfort and excitement in the arms of her hunky teenage gardener John(Jesse Metcalfe). But this illicit relationship is complicated as deep down Gabrielle does love Carlos and has to contend with him being arrested for dodgy dealings at his work. There is also the street’s trampy serial divorcee Edie Britt(Nicollette Sheridan), who is always after a man and engages in battle with Susan for Mike’s affections.Mary Alice YoungWatching over this is Mary Alice from beyond the grave. She provides the narration to the show and observes her friend’s lives and dilemmas as they slowly unearth secrets about her life and the reasons for her suicide. And with skeletons rattling loudly in closets of the residents of Wisteria Lane, the dirty secrets and concealed facts are soon bound to spill out into the open for all eyes to see. Especially those surrounding Mary Alice herself, her past actions as well as her shifty husband Paul’s(Mark Moses) murderous ways of burying the past and the behaviour of her disturbed teenage son Zach(Cody Kasch).

What immediately struck me upon watching Desperate Housewives was the way it incorporated multiple genres and did it well, where so many others have fallen flat. Through the combination of sharp writing and great performances from the cast, it emerges victorious. We’ve got the sardonic humour that subverts the rose-tinted view of suburbia, the many eventful dramas that befall the ladies and the sinister mystery of Mary Alice’s death. Desperate Housewives LetterThere’s something very mischievous about the way the show pulls these together and takes what could be considered clichés and makes them seem very fresh and lively again.And while people often say that Desperate Housewives is about the drama and comedy, it’s the mystery that invests the show with its pull and dark foreboding as we unearth the scandal and secrecy behind the facade of niceness put forward to everyone else. This leads to some excellent cliffhangers that immediately make you want to watch the next episode as soon as possible. I liked how this season slowly but surely began to expose the past of Mary Alice, including the fact she changed her name, there is murder that she committed in her past and a secret involving the paternity of her son. I was literally questioning every possible avenue in trying to figure out what lay beneath the seemingly docile serenity of her life. A sly score, laced with humour and peppered with sinister suspense, perfectly accompanies thee unraveling stories of the women’s lives and the discovery of mystery and unusual events.

The excellent cast, particularly the main ladies, brings even more of a reason to watch the show with their impressive performances. Teri Hatcher has splendid comic timing and emotional depth as Susan, and really makes you root for her as a character, especially in her search for love. Desperate Housewives Susan Locked OutHer many instances of humiliation, such as her locking herself out the house and losing her towel get you to feel for her and make her very human. This is a role that fits Teri Hatcher like a glove and is a joy to watch. Felicity Huffman is on spectacular form as the frazzled Lynette, who is clearly at the end of her tether with her young children running rings around her. Huffman successfully delineates the loving side of Lynette with the slowly neurotic half that is close to cracking up completely by combining humour, stressed out emotion and a look of indignation. Marcia Cross steals all of her scenes as the model housewife Bree, whose icy and imperious facade hides that her life and marriage are really a lie. Bree and RexBree is a woman on a mission to ignore the hurt in her life by busying herself with work, but who can’t deny that there is significant trouble in paradise. All of these conflicted emotions and traits are embodied with full force by the talented Marcia Cross who peppers Bree with humour, supreme need for control and fraught worry. Desperate Housewives Gabrielle and JohnThe stunning Eva Longoria is feisty, selfish but hurting underneath as Gabrielle, who is conducting a dangerous affair with her gardener and fears what fearsome Carlos will do if it is discovered. Longoria adds significant sex appeal to the show and brings a whole lot of sassy personality to the discontented Gabrielle. Nicollette Sheridan adds spice to the already heady mix of sexy scandal and outrageous events with her performance as the queen bitch and tart Edie, who will go with anything that has a pulse and is more than willing to cause controversy.

The other members of the cast are no slouches either. Brenda Strong provides the wise voice of Mary Alice, observing life from beyond the grave with acute insight. Strong has such an engaging voice that you could listen to for days and gives Desperate Housewives a somewhat mordant theme of beyond the grave. James Denton brings the necessary charm and secrecy to new guy Mike, while Steven Culp is suitably frustrated as Bree’s husband Rex, who can’t stand her strive for perfection all the time and is ultimately ill-fated just as they decide to give it another go. Mark Moses is excellent as the enigmZach Youngatic Paul, who will do just about anything to stop the truth about Mary Alice being unearthed. Cody Kasch as the troubled and very disturbed son Zach is riveting to watch as you don’t know what you’re going to get from him. One minute he seems to be calm and collected, then the next he is full of deep anger and haunted expression. Andrea Bowen provides amusingly mature charm as Susan’s daughter and in many ways best friend Julie. Jesse Metcalfe as the hunky gardener John who falls into lust with Gabrielle, Ricardo Antonio Chavira as Gabrielle’s fearsome husband Carlos in trouble with the law and Doug Savant as Lynette’s businessman husband Tom all fill their roles with considerable presence.
